Out with the old, in with the young.
That was apparently the theme of the Denver Broncos’ offseason in 2018, as they got rid of a number of aging players and replaced them with young guys.
This could provide a significant change of pace from what we saw a season ago when the Broncos seemingly refused to play some of their young players in favor of veteran guys.
In 2017, the Broncos’ average player age was 26.02. That number has dropped to 24.96 this offseason.
The Broncos obviously just brought in 18 rookies between the draft and undrafted free agency who help lower that total, but it took cutting bait with some players to get that age average down more than a full year.
